Maternity

Those nine months are often wished away in anticipation, especially the first time, but they are over in a blink. Our maternity portrait sessions are a specially tailored service for the mum-to-be to give you the chance to relax, discuss ideas and enjoy the unique experience. You may want your partner or children to be present or simply relish a quiet moment to yourself. The outcome will be a stunning collection of artistic images.

Newborn

This is relaxed intimate time spent in the comfort of your home to capture those fleetingly precious first moments of your new baby.

Newborns photograph best at 5-10 days old, and certainly by 14 days after birth. At this stage, they are usually easily settled, and sleep most of the time making it easier to photograph them naturally and beautifully.

It is recommended that you book in as soon as you can following your 20 week scan as the diary is normally booked at least 2 months in advance. If you are due imminently you are welcome to contact me to check if there are any slots that have come up and are free; this can occassionally happen if babies booked in don’t arrive on their due dates. Choose a time when your baby is at their most sleepy, after a feed. It may take a while to settle your baby but don’t worry: this is a time to relax and take things at their pace. A typical session may last 2 hours but please allow up to 4 hours.

Babies

Every stage of development has its magic and charm, from the first heart-melting smiles through to crawling and cruising and those cheeky grins!

Whatever stage of development your child is at you will have the time to relax and take it at your child’s pace. This is ideally suitable for babies 4-12 months, prior to being very mobile. Once your baby is regularly on the move they would be happier with a more active Lifestyle session. Baby sessions are generally held within your home environment for comfort and flexibility and are a mixture of natural images within your home setting with the use of some simple props and backdrops.
